Illustration Friday - Pattern

Click to enlarge

This week's Illustration Friday theme is pattern. No time this week to create something new as my brother and wife are visiting, but I thought this watercolour painting I made some years ago of daffodils in a beautiful little patterned pot would fit the bill. I bought this piece of Kutahya pottery over 30 years ago and it remains one of my favourites - I love the colours and patterns.

Quite simply - it's utterly beautiful, Caroline. The pattern on the vase, the delicate beauty of the daffodils - you've captured it all. You are truly a magician with your brushs. Gosh, you never cease to make my jaw drop in awe every time I come here! Wonderful, wonderful.

Now I'm off to play catch-up with those posts of yours I missed during my enforced absence from the Blogworld while on house-hunting safari. I know I'm in for a treat! xx

Thank you to everyone who has left me such lovely comments on this painting! I wasn't sure whether to show it as the scan doesn't really do it justice - a lot of the detail and colour seems to have been lost :( - anyway, I'm glad I did!! It is framed and hanging in a bedroom, by the way!
